Overview of the Balanced System® - this provides an outline of the model and its origination based on Marie Gascoigne's work with over 30 Local Authority and CCG areas since 2007. It is due for an update in 2019 so do come back to check for a new version later in the year.

The system includes some high level self assessment tools, outcomes based on the Five Strands and a range of outcome measures linked to these. We are please to be able to provide free access to the Balanced System® Baseline Evaluation and Balanced System® Detailed Evaluation tools which form the initial stages of the Balanced System® improvement cycle. These can be accessed here

An early version of the whole system audit from 2013 can be downloaded here

The following powerpoint presentations provide examples of the framework and tools in practice

The Balanced System® is also adapted to provide an accredited programme of school and setting improvement. There are over 100 schools and settings across the UK either accredited or on the programme which began in 2015. Summary case studies can be downloaded here and more information about the Balanced System® Scheme for Schools and Settings can be found here
